Preparation:
Preparation time: 2 hrs 40 mins
Cooking time: 20 mins
Serving: 10
Ingredients:
- 1 (14- to 16-pound) turkey, neck and giblets (excluding liver) reserved for turkey giblet stock
- 2 1/2 teaspoons salt (2 teaspoons if using a kosher bird)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 small metal skewer
- N/A kitchen string
- 1 flat metal rack
- 1 instant-read thermometer
Instructions:
- Remove any feathers and quills with pliers (kosher turkeys tend to require this more than others).
- Rinse turkey inside and out and pat dry. Mix salt and pepper in a small bowl and sprinkle it evenly in turkey cavities and all over the skin. Fold neck skin under body and, if desired, secure with a metal skewer, then tuck wing tips under the breast and tie drumsticks together with kitchen string.
- Preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then turn off 1 burner (middle one if there are 3). Put the turkey on an oiled rack in roasting pan and add 2 cups water to the pan. Set the pan over a turned-off burner and close lid immediately (temperature drops quickly when the lid is lifted). Grill, adjusting burner or burners to maintain 450°F and rotating pan 180 degrees halfway through grilling until a thermometer inserted in the fleshy part of each thigh registers 170°F, 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 hours. Time could be longer in cold weather. Avoid opening lid often because of rapid heat loss.
